Hi, I'm looking for some advice on what book to use to learn about waves thoroughly. I have been self studying for quite a while now and I'm also taking classes at a community college. Those classes use Young and Freeman's University Physics. I decided to selfstudy because I found the content...
I guess you could start up by reading some books on the subject. If I was in your position I would start with the math necessary to understand basic mechanics. That would be all the way to one-variable calculus.
After that I would start working with a mechanics text while concurrently...
Homework Statement
Prove the following theorem.
If a≠0, then (a-1)-1=a
Theorems proven before/axioms I am allowed to use:
Existence of reciprocals axiom: there exist real numbers x and y where x≠0 such that xy=1
Possibility of division Thm: basically a-1=1/a
Homework Equations
I just need a...
I think it would do good for you to start with An Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow. After that Purcell's Electricity and Magnetism and Vibrations and Waves by A. P. Frence will be a great choices. I have never read one of those big books on general physics. All I needed to...
I would highly recommend you get a hold of a 4th edition of Calculus and Analytic Geometry by George B. Thomas. I think they go for like 15 books on Amazon. It's the best edition of his book.
If you can't get a hold of that I recommend the Alternate Edition of the same book. It is like the...
Hello. This is my first time posting on the forum but I have been an avid reader since about last year (Didn't have an account).
Well let me get to the point. I just finished working through Spivak's Calculus book through self-study. I have been looking around the forum and I have read...
